"Political Correctnessis a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Foley Hasn't Been The Only One!!!

Democrats trying to make political hay out of the resignation of Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley should take a good look at their own party. There was Bill Clinton’s last minute pardon of former Rep. Mel Reynolds, D-IL, who had been imprisoned for having sex with a 16-year-old staffer. (He was later hired by Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition; both Clinton and Jackson had also had sex with subordinates.) There is the case of Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, whose office housed a prostitution ring. However, less known is one Hawaiian case, in which more than seven high ranking Democrat senators and representatives (and one Republican) worked to assist one Leon Rouse – a convicted child molester serving time on underage sex charges in the Philippines. Rouse, now released after 8 years in prison, was hired last session as an employee of a Democrat-controlled Hawaii state Legislative Committee. 2008 Democratic presidential hopeful Russ Feingold also came to his defense, along with a Clinton-era U.S. embassy and more than half-a-dozen Democrats.

This whole thing is getting out of hand, now the Washington Post or some crap is calling for Denny Hastert's resignation on all of this. And Hastert only knew about emails that were not sexual in nature, paculiar yes, sexual NO. And he never knew about any Instant Messages!

While these other guy's are free and clear of what they were up to, Studds and Frank.

I hope you won’t mind if I have a another point of view on the subject. There have been scandals in Washington from our less than honorable members of Congress since our country was started. It is easy to point fingers at others who have fallen into this foul chasm, especially if they are from the opposing side of the aisle. Foley is here and now, and he is just the tip of iceberg as to the shenanigans that need to come into full view. What he did was more than “naughty” and covering it up is more than "paculiar". The new Republicans have put themselves up so high on the stool of piety, that it makes their fall from grace that much harder. The Democrats, on the other hand, are always one step away from falling into the pond scum so when they do step into it, no one is surprised.

If someone in the past didn’t receive their due punishment whether they are democrat or republican, then maybe our system is in need of fixing and maybe the Foley case will do just that. That is why any incumbent in Washington needs to go in November, because we are in need of fixing. They all stink. They haven’t been part of the solution for a better country, therefore they are part of the problem by their apathy.
